I'm very happy with it, makes the car much easier to live with IMO. In standard configuration, I'd say sport is equal to stock as far as ride stiffness and comfort. Sport+ is rock hard and Comfort is a little softer which is what I was looking for. Roads in the south of Belgium are the worst in Europe so the hardness of the stock suspension was stopping me driving the car. With the KW DDC in comfort mode, the suspension is now soaking up a lot of more of the crazy mix of concrete, cobblestone, and asphalt potholed, cracked and torn up surfaces I have to drive on...plus the auxiliary "gas is below a 1/4 tank" warning system I often have installed in the passenger seat say she doesn't need to wear a sport bra anymore when we go on a road trips. I have the height set at KW's recemented setting and if anything, I need to make the front just a touch firmer as occasionally, I'll scrape the underside of the front bumper coming off a speed bump. There are a couple on my way to/from work and I just switch to Sport as I approach them to prevent it from happening. I'm not a track junkie but I had planned on tracking the car a few times this past summer but COVID put a stop to that. Hopefully I'll get a couple in next spring/summer before my time in Europe comes to an end and I ship the car to the US. I push it pretty hard in all modes and the car sticks and goes where I point it (I recently retrofitted the CFSB and that makes a big difference as well). My only bitch is the lack of information on the WLAN module where you can customize the settings. There is very little information that I can find on-line about how to make adjustments (I can plug numbers into the App on my phone but I want to understand what I'm doing to the car). I spoke to the KW Reps at the Essen Motor Show last year and they couldn't provide any information either which was pretty disappointing.

I’m interested in this as well. Driving the car in the NYC area with bad roads and potholes hurts my back but haven’t lowered or installed a co in fear of scraping. |

dtmurf Does it tie into the cars system when changing from comfort / sport / sport + or is it only controlled through wifi? I couldnt find a manual on KWs website
I love my ASTs but the uneven + pothole roads out here can get annoying.

If you add the WLAN module, can you change the setting with your phone and also store 5 custom settings. Pic below (just noticed that my button is twisted off level...there goes my weekend lol).
